satan's lies


Complex, yet simple ... the four basic lies Satan tells us and God's answer to each. Sad how so many are ensnared in these deceptions.

Lie 1 - Those who fail are unworthy of love and deserve to be blamed and condemned. God's truth, 1 Jn 4.9-10, propitiation, we are deeply loved by God.

Lie 2 - I must meet certain standards to feel good about myself. God's truth, 2 Co 5.21, justification, I am completely forgiven and fully pleasing.

Lie 3 - I must be approved (accepted) be certain others to feel good about myself. God's truth, Col 1.21-22, reconciliation, I am totally accepted by God.

Lie 4 - I am what I am; I cannot change; I am hopeless. God's truth, 2 Co 5.17, regeneration, I am absolutely complete in Christ.
